EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing artwork titled "The Putrefaction of the Flesh of the Dying Emperor Galerius". Created by an unknown artist in Paris, France, between 1413 and 1415, this masterpiece is rendered using tempera colors, gold leaf, gold paint, and ink on parchment. The dimensions of this leaf are 42 x 29.6 cm (16 9/16 x 11 5/8 in. ), making it a truly remarkable piece. In this scene from ancient Rome, we witness an encampment during a feast while the Goths starve nearby. The artist skillfully captures the stark contrast between opulence and despair as the Romans indulge in their lavish banquet while their enemies suffer hunger just beyond their reach. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring life to every element depicted in this artwork. From the sumptuous feasting tables adorned with golden accents to the emaciated figures of starving Goths lurking in shadows - each stroke tells a story that resonates through time. "The Putrefaction of the Flesh of the Dying Emperor Galerius" serves as both a historical record and a reflection on human nature's duality. It reminds us that even amidst grandeur and power, there can be suffering and injustice lurking beneath. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print captured by Liszt Collection, let us contemplate our own actions towards others less fortunate than ourselves – for history has shown that such imbalances often lead to consequences
